Creating and viewing the licensing report
After gather data for the licensing report, use the --report - - traditional or the - - capacity option to generate the licensing report. You can create a report for any of the following:
A single master server.
Several master servers.
A specific subset of clients. For example, a report that contains capacity usage for business unit billing.
Creating a report using data that is collected for the local master server
The - -gather --capacity command is run for master server cayce.rm.com:
C:\Program Files\Veritas\NetBackup\bin\admincmd>nbdeployutil.exe --gather --capacity NetBackup Deployment Utility, version 8.1.x Gathering license deployment information... Discovered master server cayce.rm.com Master Server: cayce.rm.com Domain Type (NIS, NISPLUS, WINDOWS, vx, unixpwd, ldap):WINDOWS Domain Name: rm.com User Name:Administrator Password: Output for master server at: C:\Program Files\Veritas\netbackup\var\global\reports\ 20160527_140620_cayce.rm.com Gather DONE
To create a capacity report based on the data gathered, the utility tells you what command you need to run:
To create a report for this master server, run the following:
nbdeployutil.exe --report --capacity
"C:\Program Files\Veritas\netbackup\var\global\reports\
20160527_140620_cayce.rm.com"
C:\Program Files\Veritas\NetBackup\bin\admincmd>nbdeployutil.exe
--report --capacity
"C:\Program Files\Veritas\netbackup\var\global\report\
20160527_140620_cayce.rm.com"
NetBackup Deployment Utility, version 8.1.x
Analyzing license deployment ...
Following directories were given, but do not exist:
C:\Program Files\Veritas\netbackup\var\global\report\
20160527_140620_
cayce.rm.com
The utility generates a log file named nbdeployutil-report-timestamp.log during the analysis and the report generating operation. By default, the log file is created in the directory where the gathered data resides.
Creating a roll-up report for several master servers
This example assumes that you have gathered the respective master server's data in directories master1dir, master2dir, master3dir. These directories all reside within a parent directory named EMEA-domains. The output (report and log file) is saved to the EMEA-domains directory.
# nbdeployutil --report --parentdir=EMEA-domains
This variation creates a report for a smaller set of master servers and specifies a different directory for the output.
# mkdir UK-masters # nbdeployutil --report EMEA-domains/master1dir EMEA-domains/master2dir --output=UK-masters
Creating a report for a set of clients or for a business unit
The utility can be used to examine a specific set of clients in detail.
Example: Gather data for a subset of clients for a time frame different than the default.
nbdeployutil.exe --gather --output BusinessUnitFinance --start "11/01/10 06:00:00" --end "11/02/10 01:00:00" --clients marybl2g1,marybl7g1 --verbose
To create a report for these clients, run the following:
nbdeployutil.exe --report "BusinessUnitFinance\20101102_155246_marybl2g1"
